Fertilizer is applied a second time 2 weeks after picking the peppers.

The last time the peppers are fed is 7-8 days before transplanting the seedlings to a permanent place.

The first fertilizing can be done with superphosphate after the first two leaves appear.

Urea fertilization is done two weeks after the first feeding.

What pepper seedlings don't like

Young plants consume relatively little moisture, so under no circumstances should they be watered frequently or very abundantly.

Otherwise, moisture will stagnate at the roots for a long time, and this can lead to their rotting.

Seedlings - watering is required once every 2 days. Watch out for a subtle nuance: the soil should be sufficiently moist, but not soggy.

The ideal way to test is to take a lump of soil and roll it out between your fingers. If a ball forms, stop watering.
